This is Enough

A declaration that is also a policy. Enough is defined, measured, and held to. Nothing improves by being stretched.

Lyrics

This is enough

And I don’t need to add anything to it
To make it feel complete
I don’t widen the frame
Or hold space open
Just in case something arrives

I stay with what’s here
Without asking it to become more

And I don’t mistake restraint
For something that needs fixing

I’ve measured what I can manage
Without pushing past it

And I don’t adjust the numbers
To make them look better on paper

What fits inside the limits
Keeps moving

What doesn’t
Waits outside without explanation

This is enough
This still works

Most days begin the same way

Not because I’m careful

But because repetition
Costs less than improvisation

I don’t prepare for outcomes
I don’t intend to follow

And I don’t build room
For contingencies I won’t use

If something asks for more attention
Than I can give it

I leave it unchanged
And let that be noticeable

Nothing improves by being stretched

Nothing stabilises by expanding

And nothing becomes clearer
Once it’s pushed past its limit

This is enough
This still works

I don’t save energy for later
By spending it now

And I don’t borrow from tomorrow
To make today feel lighter

What remains usable
Stays active

What isn’t
Is left where it stops working
